Sitting in a cafe as the world rushes by, holding a moment, a feeling.
I try to keep still, to contain, the sadness, the joy, a yearning to dance, to implode, to destroy.
I cannot move, for fear, for remorse, of what will become if I open the doors.
There's more to me than meets the eye, yet I dare not aim to reach the sky.
There's a need to be free, to seek for more, to connect within, to get to pour
Myself into this life, to take what's mine, to shine my light.
I shall not die before I've lived. I know it now, it is my right.

There's a moment in time
That I catch to a beat
When my soul takes a dive
And falls into my feet.
The rhythm takes over
My body, my mind.
Taking me elsewhere
A space undefined.
Unable to stop
It makes me complete
Want to dance till I drop
Sated, replete.

Can you see what is missing if I hold it to the light.
Can you tell that there's something not quite right.
Do you feel cold drafts sweeping through your home.
Do you know that you're sitting in your comfort zone.

Can you see how the cracks are beginning to show.
Can you tell that the children are wanting to know.
Do you feel any warmth living in this joint.
Do you know that she's reaching breaking point.

Can you see now the signs that something was wrong.
Can you tell that two people were in pain for so long.
Do you feel any better, now you're with someone new.
Do you know that to heal, it must start with you.
